Pakistan Refuses to Hand Over Mumbai Suspects to India


This comes as no surprise, but promises to increase tensions between the two countries nonetheless. From The Telegraph:

Mr Zardari also said he doubted that a man being held in Indian custody over the attacks was a Pakistani citizen.

"We have not been given any tangible proof to say that he is definitely a Pakistani. I very much doubt ... that he's a Pakistani," Zardari told CNN's Larry King Live, adding that if given evidence his government would take action.

Not Pakistani, eh? Mr. Zardari must have missed this must read item from The Wall Street Journal. And this one, from the Times of London. In the meantime, it looks like India may forgo military action and try to mobilize international pressure against Pakistan instead.

The world will surely breathe a sigh of releif over that news, but how much longer can India--which has suffered numerous attacks at the hands of Pakistani terrorists--and the world look the other way while Pakistan continues to churn out and host jihadists on its soil? According to Caroline Glick,  plenty long.
